Sorry it's not DMW its markyThanks DMW - they say this too will pass !
Sometimes these things happen and we just do the best we can. I hope she gets better soon. This flu is serious.
My wife is an awesome worker!If she was doing downstairs only @Jagothen the clx10 would be good enough. If she has the upper body strength to do upstairs as well, then she needs an slx18 minimum.
There are a few husband and wife combos that seem to work well together - but not many. I'm afraid we didn't. So think very carefully about starting this. It may not end well.
You need to figure out how you are going to work the hose reels if she hasn't the strength to do upstairs windows. You need to allocate who is responsible for what. Be prepared for a new boss; it doesn't take them long to crown themselves that roll.
There was a shipping company that allowed their captain's wives to accompany them on the ship. But the max period was 3 weeks a year. Anything longer than that and the Captain's wife would start to influence the captain's decisions which weren't always for the good of the ship.

The cold weather and coffee drinking is my problem exacerbated with old age and prostate issues. Sometimes just a mental trigger is all it needs to become desperate to pee. Just thinking about what they will do if they need the loo can also be a trigger.Hi Spruce and anyone else interested...
So far my wife has joined me 3 times in a month and it's only lasted about an hour each time before she had to go... Today she did 1hour 40 mins and I'm basically showing her what to do and she had a little go.
The thing that keep cracking me up is just like you said Spruce.
The need to go to the loo what seems every 5 mins...
Trouble is that I do country houses and cottages and can be on jobs for an hour at a time or more.
Anyone got a portaloo for camping or caravanong that they keep in the back of van???

Us guys can just pee into a bottle, but its different with women. The other thing is that us guys can just shake it 'dry' where the women folk need half a toilet roll to pat it dry.
One of our customers has a MK1 Transit van motor home. They just use a galvanised bucket filled with sand and the toilet seat screwed onto it - pee only though.

I might just buy her the SLX 18 for her to look at and make my life easier for the rest of the 99% of the time...
Do they say that it's best not to hold your bladder for hours on end cos that can cause probs later ?

The problem with one of those porta loos is that they take up so much floor space. Even with the swb Citroen Relay I have, floor space is at a premium. with 2 hose reels, a backpack, a 25 litre plastic drum for filling the backpack and a 650 liter upright tank. There are pockets of floor space but not enough for a porta loo.
There are emergency bottles that can be purchased with especially designed spouts for ladies use so you might check those out.

They aren't expensive.
